Abstract

Disclosed is a machine for acquiring images ( 1 ) including: a support ( 10 ) for optical lens, on one side of the support, a light source ( 20 ), on the other side of the support, an image sensor ( 30 ) suitable for capturing at least two images of the optical lens illuminated by the light source, viewed from two different angles.

Claims (17)

1. A machine for acquiring images of optical lenses, comprising:

a support for a reference optical lens,

a light source,

an image sensor suitable for capturing a first image of the reference optical lens carried by the support, viewed from a first angle,

wherein the said image sensor is suitable for capturing a second image of the reference optical lens carried by the support, viewed from a second angle distinct from the first angle; and

wherein the said support comprises a stand and a set of at least two locking caps, each locking cab comprising:

a gripping part for its fixing onto the said stand according to a first axis, and

an accommodating part for its to the said reference optical lens according to a second axis, the angle of inclination between the first axis and the second axis varying from one locking cap to the other.

2. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 1 , in which the said image sensor and the said light source are disposed on either side of the reference optical lens carried by the support.

3. The machine for acquiring image according to claim 1 , in which the said image sensor and the said light source are disposed on one and the same side of the reference optical lens carried by the support.

4. The machine acquiring images according to claim 1 , in which there is provided a chassis and in which the support comprises a locking cap for the fixing of the said reference optical lens, which is mounted mobile with respect to the chassis with at least two mobilities of rotation about two nonparallel axes.

5. The machine acquiring images according to claim 1 , in which there is provided a mirror and in which the image sensor and the support are mounted mobile with respect to one another, between a first position in which the support is situated in the field of the image sensor and a second position in which the mirror is situated in the field of the image sensor.

6. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 1 , in which the image sensor comprises a non-telecentric objective.

7. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 1 , in which, the said at least two images are acquired successively, a mirror being placed in the optical path of the image sensor between the two image acquisitions.

8. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 2 , in which there is provided a chassis and in which the support comprises a locking cap for the fixing of the said reference optical lens, which is mounted mobile with respect to the chassis with at least two mobilities of rotation about two non-parallel axes.

9. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 3 , in which there is provided a chassis and in which the support comprises a locking cap for the fixing of the said reference optical lens, which is mounted mobile with respect to the chassis with at least two mobilities of rotation about two non-parallel axes.

10. The machine for acquiring images according to claim 2 , in which there is provided a mirror and in which the image sensor and the support are mounted mobile with respect to one another, between a first position in which the support is situated in the field of the image sensor and a second position in which the mirror is situated in the field of the image sensor.
